The nation's biggest retailers including David Jones, Myer and Harvey Norman, have launched a campaign against online shopping sites, calling on the Government to impose a GST on all goods bought over the internet - or removal of the GST from all products under $1000.

He said that consumers were merely taking advantage of a currency arbitrage between the strong Australian dollar and the weaker US currency.
